I liked the racing home from the bar one. "Dang! Now I've lost the race!"

When I was in the Navy in Hawaii, a bunch of had a race from one bar to another in Pedicabs. Each of us got a Pedicab and told the drivers "There's an extra $20 in it for the winner." Mine was going around a corner and I had my left leg out 'helping'. I got my flip flop caught under the tire and it yanked me right out of the cab. The guy started to slow down and I yelled "Keep going!" I caught back up to him running like mad down the street with a flip flop in my hand. We won, but there were protests because I was not in the cab the whole way. He ended up with the $20 because nobody ever mentioned that as a rule. In fact there were no rules mentioned at all, as I pointed out.

Kinda makes you want to move to someplace like Bozeman instead of places where the stories are much more violent. I live in Reno, and while it isnt quite Bozeman, it is no where near as nasty as other places I have lived previously. sometimes I yearn for the simpler life

They have it in the paper every day.. you can also buy a book of them.. they are hilarious at times.

I stayed in Bozeman for a week on my last Montana fishing trip. I would get up every morning, go to the cafe to order breakfast and read the paper. The police blotter quickly became my favorite read of the day. I really enjoyed that town.
